Traditionally it was imposed by the chief of the tribe banning the harvesting of food resources of a set period of time to enable stocks to increase. The main purpose of the ra'ui is to help protect the marine environment and to contribute towards an increase in marine life for present and future generations (Passfield and Tiraa 1998). There are 12 ra'ui areas in Rarotonga including in Tikioki, where Koka Lagoon Cruises has set up its marine site. Some ra'ui are short-term and allow harvesting on a rotational basis, others are long term. Parts of Tikioki ra'ui are now permanently reserved.
